TAX & LICENSE / VOTER REGISTRATION

Newcomers who wish to register to vote in Wisconsin can visit their municipal clerk’s office before the election or register at their polling place on election day. To register at the polling place, you will need proper identification including proof of your address. Absentee ballots are also available through your municipal clerk. To be eligible to vote in Wisconsin, you must be a U.S. citizen who has lived in the state for at least 10 days. You must also be at least 18 years old on or before the election day. The website for the State Elections Board offers a downloadable and printable application for voter registration that can be mailed to your municipal clerk. In Wisconsin, not all municipalities require prior registration to vote. Poll workers record the names and addresses of voters at those locations. To avoid problems and delays, it is always advisable to bring a form of identification the first time you arrive to vote. For more information or answers to specific questions, contact:
